Loch Ness Monster (Nessie)
Nessie is believed to live in Loch Ness Lake in Northern Scotland. The first person to see the Loch Ness Monster was a man named Saint Columba. In 565 A.D. he was swimming in the lake and saw a giant dinosaur-like creature. One of the more recent sightings of the monster occurred in 1933 when George Spicer and his wife saw 'a most extraordinary form of animal' crossing the road in front of their car. Later other people have claimed to see the monster and even took its pictures. Believers say the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs.
Other people believe it was an elephant swimming in the water with its trunk sticking out, or a dog with a stick in its mouth. Some of them even believe it was a submarine equipped with a monster head on top! And what about you? Do you believe there is a dinosaur-like creature swimming in Loch Ness Lake?
Abominable Snowman (Yeti)
The first person to meet Yeti was Charles Howard-Bury. While he was climbing Mt. Everest in 1921 he saw a weird creature that walked like a human, it was covered in fur that was darker compared to the snow. The first Yeti photographs were made in 1925 from a distance of about 300 yards. Several people claim they have seen a Yeti-like creature or its giant footprints in Himalayan Mountains of Nepal or in Tibet. There are beliefs that the abdominal snowman is really a huge langur monkey, a giant ape (which is now an extinct animal), a Himalayan blue or brown bear and even a human hermit.Chupacabra (Goat Sucker)
Chupacabra was discovered in 1995 in Puerto Rico. This monster is said to have killed a dozen of sheep via 3 puncture wounds that were found on the animals’ chests. Chupacabra is believed to completely drain the victims’ blood. Shortly after more Chupacabra stories began to spring up in USA, Mexico, Central America, & South America with people claiming the monster killed their farm animals. Those who saw the creature said it looked like a small dog missing most of its fur crossed with a rat and jumped like a kangaroo. A rancher from Texas had spotted and killed the monster with attacked his farm. He believed it was Chupacabra. However DNA tests proved the creature to be a coyote with demodectic mange disease. Some theories suggest that Chupacabra is a hairless dog or wolf.The Secret of the Bigfoot
Bigfoot was first seen in 1958 by hiking travelers near Mt. St. Helens, Washington. However people say that such a creature existed even earlier, but under a different name. Though nobody knows exactly if Bigfoot really exists, the creature was seen over a hundred times in different places. It means there must be something extraordinary about it, right?
Almost all US states have reported sightings of Bigfoot. The origin of the creature might be not that mysterious. Some people believe it was a man in a monkey suit, others – a big ape running around. Or maybe it was just a person with abnormal hair growth, a bear or just a mass media hoax?
